Top 5 highlights of the realme 8 5G

Beautiful design overall |
1. Beautiful design - The realme 8 5G is one of the nicest mid-range smartphones in the market to date. At the back, it uses a glossy 3D curved glasstic material. The camera hump at the back boasts a combination of plastic and glass. The frame is plastic with chamfered edges for better grip and the front panel is 2.5D glass.
It features a curved back design with a matte-like paint but still glossy finish in Supersonic Blue and Supersonic Black. It has a rectangular-shaped camera hump housing its triple-camera setup and the LED flash. It also has a punch-hole display for an up-to-date modern look. |
90Hz FHD+ screen |
2. 90Hz display - The realme 8 5G has a 6.5-inch 2.5D curved display with a punch-hole cutout on the top left for the selfie camera. It has a 90.5 percent of screen-to-body ratio for an immersive experience. This screen also highlights a 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, and 1080p resolution. It may not have an AMOLED panel like the realme 8, but it is a near-no-compromise handset despite having 5G at an affordable price point with FHD+ resolution. Other handsets with 5G at this price point only have HD+ screens.
3. Highly capable specs - Inside, it has a 2.0GHz 7nm MediaTek Dimensity 700 octa-core processor, Mali-G57 MC2 (950MHz) GPU, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128GB UFS 2.1 expandable storage, and a big 5,000mAh battery with 18W Quick Charge technology. This is a speedy CPU and GPU tandem backed by competent RAM, storage, and battery.
4. 48MP triple-camera setup - The realme 8 5G has a triple-camera setup with 48MP f/1.8 w/ PDAF + 2MP f/2.4 macro + 2MP f/2.4 mono + LED flash. It also has a 16MP selfie camera. This type of camera setup with realme's software optimization and features will surely deliver high-quality images.
5. Near no compromise 5G device for the price - The realme 8 5G, as the name implies, has 5G connectivity at just PHP 11,990. Despite that budget-friendly price tag, it is still feature-packed with dual-band WiFi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.1, OTG, NFC, FM Radio, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, BeiDou, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, face unlock, USB-C, and even Dolby Atmos.
